You hit the ball with the etick, and if you and the ball the same day, you win!” But t was Ezra Kendall who origi- @ated the first golf monologue in veudevilie, It went like this: “I think a good name for gulf would be, ‘Mountain Billiards’ or ‘Cow Pasture Pool.’ I tried the game yesterday. Before I ‘teed off’ I ‘tead wp.’ I hit four high balls and six esr filps, and I was so ‘tead up’ 1 couldn't tel a goif ball from a high ball, so 1 @rdered another egg flip. And while I was drinking !t, somebody put an ogg in my hand. I didn't notice the difference, so I put the egg on the tee, and when I hit it I looked up to see where the ball had gone, and the yolk of the egg came down and hit me in the eye. So they brought me an ‘eye opener,’ and | tried it again. And I hit that ball so hard it knocked @ goat off rock @ quarter of a mile away. “Whe: I got to the reck, I found ‘that the goat had swallowed the ball.

Mary Hampton, who plays the @istressed wife in “John Ferguson,” has a colored maid who returned last week from a trip down South. Miss Hampton was naturally sur- prised when the maid asked for an- other week off. “You have just had your vaca- tion,” the actress protested. ‘What do you want with another one?” “I wants to git married,” ahe an- swered. “Why didn't you get married while you were en vacation?” Miss Hamp- ton asked. “I didn't want to spoil it,” was the answer.
